In our laboratory, we carry out comprehensive testing of cement and gypsum in accordance with current Ukrainian and European standards. The goal of these studies is to determine the main physical and mechanical properties of the materials, which directly affect the quality and longevity of construction structures.
Gypsum Testing
Testing of gypsum is conducted according to DSTU B V.2.7-82:2010 and DSTU EN 13279-1:2022 standards. We determine the following characteristics:
- Fineness of grinding — indicates the degree of material grinding, which affects setting time and strength.
- Setting time — determines the suitability of gypsum for use in specific construction and repair conditions.
- Flexural and compressive strength — important indicators for calculating the load on gypsum products.
These tests help assess gypsum for the production of construction mixtures, fillers, plasters, and finishing materials.
Cement Testing
Testing of cement is conducted according to DSTU 9183:2022 and DSTU B EN 197-1:2015 standards. The following properties are tested:
- Fineness of grinding — defines the activity of the cement and the speed of its interaction with water.
- Initial and final setting times — provide insights into the technological characteristics of cement mortars and concretes.
- Normal consistency of cement paste — establishes the optimal amount of water needed for preparing the mixture.
- Compressive and flexural strength — samples are tested at early stages (2 days) and standard stages (28 days) of hardening to assess their reliability.
- Volume stability (expansion) — allows prediction of potential cracks or other defects in structures.
Cement testing is mandatory for manufacturers and consumers who aim to guarantee product quality at all stages of construction — from foundations to finishing works.
We conduct all tests using modern equipment according to strict methodologies, ensuring high accuracy of results. Our specialists accompany each stage of the process — from sampling to the preparation of official test reports.
We will help you ensure the reliability of your binding materials and guarantee high quality in your construction projects. Contact us — we work for your confidence and success!
